Tasmanian Full Thrust Titles

G'Day

The Tasmanian Full Thrust Titles were held at the Van Diemen's Wargaming

Club today. This tournament was supposed to be held at JesterCon 2002 in

Launceston (a city in Tasmania's north), but due to rising insurance
costs 
the con was cancelled. I decided to run the tournament anyway at the 
wargame club in Hobart.

The tournament was run using Allan Goodall's double elimination format 
tournament rules with suggestions on design restrictions from Oerjan. I 
managed to get seven players (two from Launceston), but unfortunately
not 
Beth. The day would have too much for Mei and Janneke, though Lachlan
did 
come along and helped to officiate.

Most fleets were FB1 or custom designs, no FB2 alien races as it turned 
out. Eventually John Langiu (ESU), one the travellers from Launceston
won 
the tournament and, after close completion and a show of hands, he also
won 
the 'best presented fleet' award. John's closest completion for that
award 
was a young man by the name of Matthew Cleaver, whose fleet included
among 
other things an excellent space battleship Yamato and some ships similar
to 
the EDF crusier mogami, which he has sculpted himself.

I've have taken some photos, so with any luck they should be developed
soon 
and once that is done I'll put them up and let you know.

Now all we have to do is run the titles again next year and see if we
can 
drag test-list denizen David Stuckey from his cave in New Zealand and
get 
him to come over and join in :)

Cheers
